Amarillo by Morning !!!!


It has been a busy summer. Each weekend we have been trying to get out town and take advantage of seeing different places around New Mexico. On memorial day we decided to take a trip to Amarillo. We arrived on Friday night and the first stop was TGIF which was right in our Hotel and the pool. The water was freezing so Evan spent most of his time in the Whirlpool. Here are a few of our memories from our trip.



Evan enjoying the whirlpool.




On Saturday we headed to Chucky Cheese fro the afternoon. We had never been to one before so we took our time and played every game in the place. Evan had a blast


Evan and Chucky.



Having a game of air hockey with some friends he just met.









Evan and Daddy enjoying the games arcade.



Saturday evening we headed to the Don Harrington discovery center.






Evan playing with in the bubble station.






Saturday night for supper we headed to The Big Texan restaurant. This is the Home of the free 72 oz steak if you can eat it in 1 hr. Somebody actually completed the challenge while we were there. It was the best steak that I ever had. They have lots of fun things for the kids do do while waiting to be seated. Evan enjoyed playing the slot machines and shooting the targets with his gun

I had to convince Daddy to have his picture taken in the Big Chair.





Evan cute little face.





Outside the Big Texan





This was the place they had set up and Evan spent most of his time here shooting at the targets.



My little Shooter. He was actually pretty good.

After dinner, we are all stuffed. They give each kid a free cowboy hat with the kids meal.




My little cowboy!!!!!




On Sunday we decide to do a jeep tour through the Palo Duro canyon. It was a awesome experience that I recommend to everyone. The jeeps were so cute, they were all decorated in cow seat covers . I took pictures that you can see on my camera but for some reason they will not come out when I download them, but here are a few that came out.




The cowboy riding in the back.



Palo Duro Canyon, so pretty this picture does not do it justice.









The Longhorns came right up to the jeep and Evan got to feed them. He was so excited.




A little to close for Momma!!!!







Feeding the longhorns.




The Elkins ranch tour took about 2 hrs, you can do longer if you want. It was great experience and we got to learn about the ranch history. The also have a a cowboy cookout that looked real neat.. We will try that next time.
Of course no trip would be complete without trips to Target, Michael's; and Starbucks. We even got to eat real ice cream. We shall return.
